@randahl For the religious, it is a matter of convenience. They know that religion in the US (and elsewhere) is in decline and it terrifies them. They can see their power and privilege (and tax-free status) coming to an end; so the only way they feel they can prevent that happening is constituting a theocracy, and Trump happened to be there when the panic hit. All that jesus stuff went out the window years ago; it is all about the preservation of power and privilege.
